This teacher makes you write papers that people in Harvard wouldnt have to wrute and her final exam was rediculous. I would not recommend anyone to take her unless you plan on taking this english class again your next semester.
Mrs. Adams was a little challenging but very fair, and very clear about what she wanted. She nice when you come to her office hours for help, and will always give you extra time and extra help. I did well in her class and know I earned it.
Great teacher. I loved her. You can do well just do the homeworkand show her you are trying.
this teacher gives crappy quizzes everyday on nothing special and skips most of the info she makes you read
Not that easy but very interesting and clear.
good class
Mrs. Adams' really wants her student to think for themselves. She gives a lot of quizzes to check if you did the reading. she's hard, but it's an interesting class.
enthusiastic, cares if you do well or not. writes a lot on your papers and you get to do as many rewrites as you need to do to do okay...
Very clear on assignments, gives a grading sheet with the assignmetn that tells you how you will be graded on it. Lets you do as many rewrites as you want to keep getting a better grade. All her quizzes are open notebook. Easy class, really, if you do the work.
I always hated english but Mrs adams made me like it and want to come to class
Mrs. Adams is the real deal. Only take her if you actually want to learn something....
Great class, take it online if you can. Not hard, just do the work. Easy tests, and she lets you rewrite all your essays for a better grade and does not even average them--you just get the revised essay's grade!!
Prof. Adams gave me the foundation to write exceptional college papers. She is fun, cares about the students, creates work to make sure students stay on top of reading, AND ALWAYS made herself available to help me with papers if she and always allowed re-writes. TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU WANT WRITE GREAT COLLEGE PAPERS! AWESOME TEACHER!!
Made me a better writer. Awesome class.
Mrs. Adams is a wonderful professor. Her class is far superior to any other 101 course I have taken at HCC. If you are looking for an easy grade, do not take her, but if you are looking for a clear, concise and challenging teacher, who will push you regardless of how good of a writer you are, Mrs. Adams is second to none.
She really likes the poems and stories we read. Makes you work hard. Daily reading quizzes so you can't get away with not reading, but then in the end you think cool, I read all that stuff....
Best English teacher ever!
She's a great teacher. No students go left behind in her class, so if you ask for help, you'll get some legit help. She's tough concerning the MLA format, so your essay can be awesome, but in college the MLA format is important so heads up on that. All her assignments make you a better writer, so i recommend her.
Best English Teacher Ever.
She is a horrible teacher and rude at that. never helped. awful.do not take her!
Having attended this class during the fall semester of 06, I want to address the previous comment that this professor does not help, or is rude. She is not an easy teacher, but always made herself availlable to help any student motivated enough to come to her for help. I never, ever saw her being rude, although many students were very rude to her.
Wonderful class. You actually get to have your own opinion about the stuff we read...not always the case with lit classes. You HAVE To do the reading because she quizzes you on it (BEFORE discussion so there's no fudging) but this teacher is one of the very beset HCC has. She gives extra help and lets you rewrite your essays with no penalty.
I had her for Eng 101 and she is AWFUL! Yeah, she is availible for help but she has an awful grading method. She does not explain things well enough for you to understand. Thanks to her i have to take this class over again.
Very good teacher. You will truly learn how to write well. Great prep for college writing. Lots of reading and writing, so make sure you can keep up!
If you had to take ENG 101 again after having Mrs. Adams, that's because you didn't do the work. She is very thorough, very clear, and very fair. You simply cannot get a better teacher at HCC for this class. There is a LOT of reading and writing and you have to keep up or you wont pass and will have to take it again, sure.
As an international student, I had her both for 101 and 102,and I learned a lot from her. She is a good writer, wonderful personality and very open mind. In her class, not only I learned how to write, also I learned how to make the points logically. She helped me build up a good foundation on English writing. So take her, you will be a good writer.
I would recommend Prof.Adams for those who want to learn and improve their english writing. Her class is extremely hard to get a good grade, but if u're looking to learn. Take her she is a very nice professor
You have to read every week and she quizzes you on it so if you don't, you get a zero on the weekly quiz. That took some getting used to. Her paper assignments are clear though and overall, she really is not hard at all.
You will learn a lot and have to do a lot of work.What I don't like about her is that after every essay assignment, she would pick out two or three essay to project on front of the class.But she always have to make important corrections right in front of the class.She seem very careless when grading our work.She always hand stuff back late.
I enjoyed this teacher very much. She makes the material fun. Very interesting class discussions. Writes helpful comments on essays and always there to help.
This professor teaches English 102 online. I thought the class was way more work than I expected, but I appreciated how much she was willing to help. This is a very understanding professor. If you take her online though, don't fall behind or you will fail the class for sure.
I wouldn't recommend her . She's boring n loud n even though i did all my papers n works in her class and i had good grades, when it came down 2 the end she gave me a C+ which i wasnt expecting
Worst english teacher ever.
She is sooo rude and sarcastic. Her class is boring and she doesn't connect with students. If you have a life outside of her class forget it. Run far away if you think about taking hre class.
Just finished this class. One discussion and one one page paper each week for three weeks, then an exam that takes the whole week. At the end of the class, you have to write a 7 page research paper on your favorite author. It was not hard. You just have to do the work as you go along. I'd take her again, but I am glad the class is OVER WOO!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE ! Her class is boring ! Her voice annoys me, i honestly hate going to her class. I try my best not to fall asleep. Take my advice you wont enjoy her class.
it is half way through the semester, & i'm not doing so well. why? because ms.adams doesn't know how to teach.. *shaking my head* my advice to those who plan on taking eng 101. do not I REPEAT do not choose her !
You want to learn something? do not pick this Professor, unless you are planning to teach yourself.
Professor Adams does not know how to teach or speak to her students.
Mrs Adams is unorganized, confusing, her annoying voice gave me a headache everytime I went to class. She needs to attend Hcc to learn how to talk and teach students.
Do not choose this prof. Unless you want to teach yourself.
I'm taking her Eng 102 online, she piles a bunch of works at you, when you ask her a question, she replies 2 days later. I would never take her again, she really mad me dislike online course.
I really learned the basics of how to write a college essay in this class. The teacher was very clear and helpful. Easy grader. Very helpful when I went to see her during office hours. I wanted an A and I got an A and it was not hard.
I took ENG 102 online with Professor Adams.She answered all my questionsright away, and I really felt connected to the other students because of the discussions/interaction. She is very organized about the way she posts the work so you won't get confused about what you have to do when. I'd tell anyone and everyone to take this class!
This was my favorite English teacher ever. I finally learned how to organize an essay in her class. She makes sure you know about thesis statements and MLA. She taught me how to write essays for all my other classes too. Very nice lady! I went to her for help all the time and she was always there for me.
terrible online
I had her for Eng 102 onlineI don't like how she did her grading, we still haven't recieved all of our grades.And also instead of her sending you a comment directly she would post them on the assignment and send them back.And the online class gave no notification on it at all.I never want to take an online class again because of this!
This teacher was so helpful and easy.I had to retake english 102 2 times and when I took it with her I did very well.She is very clear on work and she will encourage u 2 see her for help.As far as grading if u emailed her she would give u ur grade Thisis an easy A.
I took her class this Fall. I will no recommend!! She has a poor communication with students!
I took this proffesor online and I do not recommend. She did not explain, unclear about what she wanted for each assignment and I have done very well in previous english classes. Please do not take this teacher for online. I regret it.
I guess it all depends on the student because I loved this class online. It was the most organized class I ever took. I have done okay in other English classes but in this one I got an A.
It was a good class but i do not reccomend! she starts attendance right at the time she walks into class(even if shes early) and if your not there you lose participation points every time! she isn't clear on what the assignments and the reading quizzes are never on what you had to read!
She was the worse teacher I ever had taken. She does not help, and some of the assignments was confusing.She is not a fare teacher, and I don't recommend her to anyone.
her class was EASY!!! the down size is that she is anal about attendance, class participation. as long the home work is done( read a short story)and you take notes down on the home work( she allows notes to be used on test) you are fine in her eyes. have her notice you by participating and you'll be good. EASY -A- if i put more effort.
she never responded to emails and she wasn't clear. worst of all I took her online class were things like this are critical. I ended up showing up at her office she was forced to help me. I wouldn't recommend taking her class for anyone!
This Prof really cares. day 1 lays down the rules expects you to be on time & participate. However very fair. Always allows you to email in essay & research paper (finalpaper) to her prior to due date & she will critic & send back to you with feedback.open notes on quiz.
This professor is wonderful. I cannot recommend her enough...creative, smart and funny at the same time. Makes the subject interesting and not so dry.
Very clear, very helpful. Just read the material and come to class and this is an easy A.
Great class. Very easy to understand. If you let her know what is going on with you, she will work with you and accept things late. Participate in class---she likes that.
she will transform you in a writer. she is very strict on attendance and work. if you to be a great short story writer, take her.
Very Fair, Very Nice. Don't take if you want an A just for showing up because you probably won't pass. Very strict on attendance. English is not my native language so I was very nervous about taking the course. She answered all of my questions and seemed like she really wanted me to do well. Thank you! Very happy to have recieved a B in her class.
I took Prof. Adams online for both Eng 102 and E262 (Women in Literature). I'm surprised she received a handful of negative comments because I thought she was a great teacher. You actually learn how to analyze literature and write responses to literary pieces being in her class. She does assign a lot of work (but hey! it's COLLEGE!).
She is an ok teacher. Does NOT reply to emails, and when you ask her she comes up with a b.s excuse. Her quizes are not relevant to the text book.
Very Boring. The way she teaches is horrible.
Professer Adams' standards are too high, not realistic. I received only A's or B's over the past couple decades until this on line English course. My initial final grade was C- and I did an assignment again to bring it to a B-. In the course my grades ranged wildly from very high (90's/100) to below 75 or below.
Worst class I've ever taken at HCC. She's confusing, has too high of grading standards, and is not very helpful at all. Do not take any of her classes. Trust me.
Very clear. Has high standards. I learned a lot. Gives commentary on drafts so that you can hand in a better paper. Responds to e-mails. I thought this was a great class and I am taking her again for the next one. I'd recommend her to people who want to learn, and tell the free loaders to take someone easier from whom they will learn nothing.
Thought she did a fine job, I did my part and she did hers. Didn't have to worry about knowing what to do next. It was well planned out.
Made this class interesting and I appreciated Sci-Fic alot more after I took this class. We used the text book alot. But the class was great. Learned alot. Teacher is awesome & makes everything easy to understand.
Wow I'm really disappointed in reviews on prof Adams! I loved her class! Her grading is not harsh, she's very fair! She's super sweet and super helpful! Just go to class, do your work, do your homework, and make an effort and she will help you 100%! I recommend everyone to take her! And I hope to take another one of her courses in the future.
Took her online sci-fi class, she's not a very nice person, very confusing and seems to be impatient with online beginners, not very helpful and not at all flexible. I tried to drop her summer class but the college wouldn’t reimburse me my money. I am so disappointed in her attitude.
English is an east subject for me. Professor Adams is very easy and overall good instructor. Her class is an easy A if you attend class and do the work. Would take her again and recommend her to any one especially if English isn't your favorite subject
I loved this class. Professor Adams is helpful and understanding. Do the work and participate and you'll do well and learn a lot!
Lots of reading but read the lectures and submit your work on time and you will do well. This class is worth it.
Professor Adams was very clear and helpful. Students who put in the time will def do fine, especially if you go to see her if you have a problem. I LOVED Professor Adams!!!
Loved this class. I really learned how to be a better writer. And she will work with you if you let her know what is going on.
Insightful online lectures that really made me think. I loved everything about my online Sci Fi class.
She wants you to have read the homework. She is very understanding if you have a problem and come to her and explain and work with her to get a different due date. I thought she was easy but that she also helped me learn how to write better.
Overall terrible teacher. Boring, unclear & mean. Doesn't seem to care if you pass or fail.
This professor was fair and clear. I passed with no problem. Not too much work. Four our of class essays, and we had to use an outside source for three of them. She walks you through it. Some reading but not too bad. Two essays written in class. I liked her well enough and thought this was pretty easy to pass.
She's clear with her assignments. Read & Do your assignments she really just wants to know what you think about the readings. Your personal opinion gets you an A just follow the MLA style rules on your work. She checks your work do not plagiarize. Start research paper early on one the writers you study in this course. Take her course She is great!
I loved this class. Professor Adams really knows her subject and makes it interesting. She is caring and will go the extra mile to help. Lots of work but very worth it.
I took Professor Adams for a face to face ENG 102 class, and she was amazing. Very clear, very helpful, and she really made me think and learn and become a better writer with her assignments and feedback.
Professor Adams truly cares about her students. She knows her subject, makes class interesting and worth it, and was always willing to work with you. Really appreciated this Professor. One of the ones who really does care!
This is the second class i've taken with Professor Adams. She is clear on her expectations each week and is a great professor!!
Her online class requires way too much work compared to every other online course I have taken. She also has you watch several movies a week alone with your two writings. I take an online class because I do not have time to travel into class, which is the benefit of online yet she never post the week work on Monday, which is my free day. Not fair
Took her online for a science fiction elective and she wasnt the best. She took forever to respond back to emails and grades even though this was an online class. Gave a lot of work but when she did grade she gave good grades for things
I took her summer ENG 102 5 wk class. I emailed her three times and all three times she got back to me within two hours. Her expectations were very clearly communicated and were easy to understand. While I wish she graded work a little faster, her grading was fair. Her lectures about the readings were very deep and made me think. I loved her.
It was a lot of work BUT I enjoyed her reading choices. She is tough, and expects a lot. Not an easy class, but highly rewarding. U get an amazing experience with the sweetest, most caring and helpful teacher ever. my writing skills grew tremendously. I would take her again, anyday! Best teacher ever! 4 serious students only. Not class for easy A
i had a great experience with this prof. Very caring. I learned a lot!@
She doesn't respond to emails and forget about grades because she doesn't post them at all so not only do you not get feedback on your papers, you are completely left in the dark about how you are doing academically. Worst class I have ever taken.
She was the first professor I have taken that has given me a HUGE amount of workload that I was NOT expecting from an elective class. However, I did enjoy the readings and movies we had to watch for the assignments. She expects 9 hours of homework per week, so be ready for that. I wish I would have known before taking this class but today I am DONE
This teacher hates answering questions. Anytime you ask one she tries to push you away and doesn't want to help you. I don't understand how she got a degree in teaching because I have not learned a single thing from her. She hasn't taught me anything she just gives essays after essays and considers that learning. She is rude.
